Turn A Picture Frame Into A Tray

I bought a plain brown Ikea frame months ago, and it has been my bane.

First, it was supposed to hold a small poster I ordered that looked better on the screen than in person.

Then I thought I’d use it to frame some new Tiny Art, but that Tiny Art and I are still duking it out.

Finally, it became a tray in the form of set styling for my striped flower pot. Turns out I’m pretty happy with it as a tray! And it only got better when I popped a silk chartreuse doily on top of the magenta background I painted.

I like it as a table centerpiece with flowers or a plant.

I like it as a mini landing strip for keys, change, wallet, etc.

I like it as a jewelry tray.

I even like it as plain-ole art.
